HELP, people are talking about internships and I don’t know where to start…

As the time comes around again for students to dig themselves out of their homework hermitage and explore the amazing (and sometimes challenging) world of applying to internships, I thought I’d share the resources available to WaMStA students.

As students of both institutions, you are allowed to use the resources at both schools, so in theory you have access to double the amount of sources and programs than other students attending a four-year institution.

This one is more useful for the students physically at William and Mary. The Cohen Careers center is located right next door to Sadler and they are extremely helpful: you can book an appointment with them to talk about your future, potential jobs, get some resume help, or attend a networking (**such a scary word, but honestly it’s the best way to get a job) event put on by W&M.

In this internship, students can design their own research plan and work with an advisor to do intensive research throughout the summer or, if you wish to do a longer period of research, for an entire year.

Both:

Ask a professor to aid in research, especially at William and Mary. Though unpaid, it’s really helpful and you could even co-publish academic work! For more updates about this, check the weekly What’s Happening at W&M and Memos at St. Andrews.
